A customer in Massillon called about their LG dryer that would not start. When we arrived at the Queen Anne Drive Northwest location, we found the unit completely unresponsive despite having power.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer would not start. No matter what settings they tried, the unit remained completely dead with no response from the control panel.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we discovered the child lock setting was activated on the control panel. This safety feature prevents the dryer from operating even when all other settings appear normal. We also noticed the dryer vent had become disconnected during recent maintenance.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Reset child lock by holding the Easy Iron button and reconnected the vent
- Result: Dryer restored to full operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
LG dryers are generally reliable appliances with good longevity when properly maintained. This LGEX2650R model represents solid mid-range construction that typically provides years of dependable service. Simple operational issues like this are always worth addressing rather than replacing the entire unit.
Maintenance Tips for LG Dryers
- Check your control panel for activated child lock if the unit won’t respond – look for the lock icon
- Ensure vent connections remain secure, especially after any appliance moving or maintenance
- Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating
